Three types of surveys or valuations

We can advise you on what’s the best choice for your circumstances, not just for the Tunbridge Wells area, but countrywide surveys too—that’s what many years’ experience as chartered surveyors has taught us. Here’s your choice:

Produced in standard format, ideal for homes of conventional construction built from Victorian times onwards. It is a more compact yet user-friendly report which focuses on serious defects requiring urgent attention and other maintenance, besides advising whether the property is a reasonable price for its type, location and condition.

A comprehensive inspection, suitable for all properties, but particularly recommended for listed buildings, those built before 1840, any of unusual construction or which have had extensive alterations or renovation is planned in the near future.

A survey focusing on a particular issue such as damp, woodworm infestation or structural movement, rather than a comprehensive cover-all survey.
